It's fantastic that I have options that I can even take in the middle of the day, but it's also a curse. It's easy to get lazy.
Another great option that many New Yorkers have is Citi Bike, the bike share program. I can't take it to work because the service area ends at 130 St, and I work at 240 St. But my wife and I often take it one way and then use another mode in the other direction. That kind of freedom makes riding a klunker worthwhile. The bikes weigh 50 lbs.
